If the President did yield to the call a special of would the members recommend amendment to the Constitution? Ar- ticle V. of the Constitution .of the United States still stands in the way. The President did not sew things up against the woman'’s party as did that one paragraph which stipulates that an amendment cannot be proposed until two-thirds of both houses deem it necessar; It seems the women would save time by following the sug- gestion the President has often of- fered, that Is, suffrage, state by state. Even should the Congress attempt to amend the Constitution every citizen in every state in the union will again have a chance to vote on the action taken and the amendment cannot be adopted unless the voters in three- fourths of the several states ratify the action of Congress. There is tha situation. The President might call a special session of Congress tomor- row for all the good it would do him or the woman's party. Granted that the Congress would acquiesce in the President’s and the women's wishes, there would still remain the voters of three-fourths of the states. The proposition of Miss Paul is delightful in her eyes but repugnant to the great majority of voters who believe the individual states should bring about nation-wide woman suffrage. session Congress, an STREETS. Chicago is now finding fault with the name Clark street. citizens of the Windy City interested in reforms are now contemplating a change in the street's name. They would call it Broadway. Sometime ago a sed similar York Merchants on agitation was ra over the Bowery. that thor- oughfare clalmed that the old time reputation of that street had harmed business and the name changed to Lower Broadway. Com- mon sense in this instance prevailed and the Bowery remains. Even the o0ld song is recalled although the last line, “We'll never go there anymore,” in New wanted has been re-written. Names of streets have a queer way of becoming famous, and almost every city that boasts of a street known from one end of the land to the other, or, around the world, can point to the fact that the name in the first in- stance was original. There is only although there are called after the one Broadway, thousands of streets one in New York. There is but one Michigan avenue, although many citles beside Chicago possess streets named after the Wolverine state. There is but one Pennsylvania avenue, although the street where presidential inaugural parades take place has a thousand name-sakes. There is but one Lockerbie street and it would have remained forever obscure but for the residence there of the late James Whitcomb Riley. No other Locker- bic street has come forward yet to the paradox that is When cities adopt the name the future fame of the Indianapolis street ured even though Riley “old Sweetheart of Mine” be forgotten.

Assistant Balance of cabinet . “Eight Hours’ Leisure.” (Waterbury 1t). Some very nice persons who pride themselves on not belonging to the working classes are saying bitter things about the federal labor law. They are repeating the an- cient criticism that eight hours of work with eight hours of sleep leaves a man eight hours of leisure which means a tempting opportunity to in- dulge in intoxicants. Ilegant gentle men who haven't the skill to run their own motor cars, but who must hire a chauffeur to do it for them, are thus freely expressing their opinion of what 400,000 of the nation’s most re- liable workers will do with their new bit of spare time. All of which mere- ly shows how carele: the carpers think. Evidently they haven’t noticed that the temperance movement and the growth and power of the labor o ganizations, although absolutely unre- lated, have been advancing steadil side by side, ever since an eight-hour day first became the laboring man’s stake.
